Excellent project management and scrum software

PROS

We have been using Vivify for over a year now to manage internal projects. The features allow us to track all of our time worked, and also let us prioritize our work and see exactly what needs doing and when. It provides a clear view of the work.

CONS

We ran into one issue where we moved items across boards and they disappeared. However, we spoke to support and they resolved within a day.

Reason for choosing VivifyScrum

Cost and ease of use.

Vivify, A less complicated way of loggin time and tracking tasks

We needed a way to track time and break-down which person did what, and with other programs that was far too complex for what we needed and wanted. And with Vivify that was just too easy

PROS

The way boards are organised and how easy it is to create tasks and choose participants. The time tracking feature seems really useful for management/project time-tracking

CONS

The upgrade subscription action to add a new member (was) a bit clunky and not optimized, but since it has been fixed with an update, it's fine.

Reasons for switching to VivifyScrum

Due to management. Needed something less overwhelming.

UI looks nice but

Keeping track of todo items

PROS

Free to start using, reasonable limits on free functionality. Has most of the features we need, comments, checklists, scrum boards, sprint management, etc. Visually attractive UI.

CONS

Mobile functionality and UI is very poor. UI of the desktop site is clunky to use despite being visually attractive. Navigation is not user-friendly, some elements are auto-saving others are not, creating an inconsistent user experience. Email notifications or browser notifications link you to a confusing page from which you can't actually access the details of the item you were notified about nor can you see what was changed.

VivifyScrum makes our days easier

It is perfect for the size of our team. We really rely on the software. When it's down, we don't know what to do. Everyday, we can say "check Vivify" so everyone knows what to do and if they have enough time for their tasks. Our company stepped up its level because of Vivify. We now can do more projects and earn more money. We don't lose time asking ourselves what to do.

PROS

Overall it's easy to use. I like how you can drag your tasks to done, and see the list grow. It's satisfying and great for our team. I love that you can add comments, links and documents to your tasks.

CONS

I can't save the changes I make in a board for the next one. So, every new board i open, i must re-design it as my team and i like to use it.

Reason for choosing VivifyScrum

User friendly and really good help from the guys that work there. We even got a little notebook in december as a gift. I like how personal the contact is and how everyone wants to help you use vivify as the best way possible.

Reasons for switching to VivifyScrum

The price was a lot better, so we switched.

Vivifyscrum user

Its great to bring a little more structure to our planning! Its super easy to add tasks, move them to different days of the week and its very malleable to your own liking. I truely recommend this to any other creative business.

PROS

We've got a very clear overview of all the tasks we've to finish. We work with several people and it's easy to see who's working on which project and what we have to do each day. It works perfectly and I'm glad to see a more structured environment at the office.

CONS

Sometimes there's some problems with the website, mostly at the start of our workday (when we need it the most) which is unfortunate. Often its just a short moment and doesn't last for hours, but its a little annoying on busy weeks.

Great progression board for any project

PROS

I used this mainly for my software development projects. Really easy to use and very innovative. There is this cool graph where it shows how your work is going and how it is supposed to go. It is a time track tool to make sure you are completing tasks and finishing them on time. The graph tool is my favorite tool.

CONS

It took some time learning how to use and become a scrum master. I had to read a lot prior to using this software to really familiarize myself with the whole concept. But once you have it down it is a beautiful tool to have.

Thank you, Neal! We're glad to hear you like VivifyScrum.

Excellent agile tool in market..

Maintaining Product's backlog was an over head earlier, and managing the human resource velocity for each Project was real problem earlier, Now it seems so easy.

PROS

Vivifyscrum is an excellent user friendly and very intuitive agile project management tool. Featuers which I liked most in this software is the User Interface layout which is very easy for any new bie to get started in no time. My team uses drag and drop feature to move the items from BackLog to sprint Backlog and mark them "In Progress" to "Done" so quickly. Planning sprint looks so easy using this software. The over head of updating the worklog reporting time is almost zero because of user friendly interface which makes my team happily use this software, compared to other tools which were an over head. Graphical representation of team's utilisation provides a complete productivity in pictorial format which is great feature to look at the end of sprint.

CONS

I think, Project's role in vivifyscrum is not clearly utilised.

My VivifyScrum review

PROS

For me Jira is too complicated and slow, and I hate YouTrack because it looks awful, but VivifyScrum brings the best of both worlds. At first I was like whaaat why whould we use this tool that is unknown, but now I really enjoy using it. VivifyScrum is fast, it looks nice and it just works. What else do you need.

CONS

I didn't find anything that I don't like about this software. At least I didn't find it yet.

Agile PM for small businesses at an affordable cost

VivifyScrum gives a clear and simple tool for effective project management at a reasonable cost.

PROS

This is an intuitive, well-organized and very visual project management tool that gives you a clear view of your tasks and your team's progress. It features both scrum and kanban boards for flexible project management and the drag-and-drop environment is very much appreciated. Burndown charts are an asset to track performance and the overall UX helps sprint planning run a lot smoother. Also, the interface is bright and modern (a nice change from Jira) and the price is very reasonable considering everything it offers. Ideal for small businesses who need the PM essentials but want something a step above Trello.

CONS

While the UI looks nice, once you start using it you start to find some clunkiness. The free version also taunts you with blocked features but it would be nice to use at least a limited version of time tracking and invoicing without having to pay for premium. That might be asking too much though.

A reliable SCRUM tool

PROS

It is easy to use even for non-technical people. It provides all the required SCRUM board features for driving a sprint effectively. Certain features are extensively used by our team and works perfect for us like reviewing older stories, adding checkpoints, project timeline, burndown charts etc.

CONS

Nothing specific that comes to my mind. It satisfies our team needs.

My experience has been only positive. VivifyScrum provides a LOT of features and a reasonable price.

Extremely easy to use and very powerful in helping to organize and administer a software development project.

PROS

I use the software daily to weekly. The software is very user friendly and laid out in a logical fashion. Their free version is very generous and provides a great look at the software's capabilities for an unlimited time (based upon how many cards you add). The concise and full card view is very useful for fitting as many cards on a screen as possible.

CONS

I would like to be able to filter out items marked Done from displaying in a sprint. I sent this as a request and received a quick response. I suspect that this feature will be in the new release in September. I would like checkmarks that indicate Done items to always appear in the same place on a card and to be a different color than green so that they stand out a bit more.

Thank you, Dan, for your review and your suggestions!

A Greatly Underappreciated Product

Overall, terrific. It is the product I ultimately chose for our development team for our Agile workflow.

PROS

This product is fully featured and customizeable. It offers great mobile features as well. I was surprised at how much this product had to offer, especially in the free tier (as a non-profit, this was essential)!

CONS

My only issue was with the update process. With regular updates, each one blocked the application from opening until the new update was applied and had to be downloaded and the application reinstalled. If this process was streamlined so that updates occurred in the background or didn't require the newest update to run, I could recommend this product much higher.

Great product, but offers more than we are currently using.

We use it to keep track of projects. Our developer runs the meetings and probably benefits from Vivify's functionality more than the rest of us (who are not developers), but it keeps us on track. We have yet to use all of the features, and tend to only use it as a group once a week.

PROS

Fairly easy to learn the basics

CONS

We are not really a developer or heavy team project user of the product.
